EFI with bochs?

Hi Heinrich,

I'd like to enable qemu-x86 with Bochs & EFI_LOADER, but it doesn't
seem to boot Ubuntu - the spinning logo never appears. I don't get the
Ubuntu display. I had to revert a68c9ac5d8af to get any sign of life,
but even then, with bochs, no dice.

My tree is at dm/qemu-working but I haven't quite finished tidying it.
There is a script there which builds and runs qemu & Ubuntu.

The reason for Bochs is that with kvm, the option ROMs needed by x86
become quite a pain. It seems that QEMU doesn't emulate things
correctly.

I dug around in the EFI GOP driver, but it seems to be setting thing
up correctly. I had hoped to find a missing field...

Regards,
Simon
